  • Change in Hydraulic Conductivity of Expansive Soils

    Creator:
    Hesseltine, Johnathon
    Abstract:
    Swelling soils cause millions of dollars of damage to buildings every year in the Unites States alone. One essential piece to understanding these soils is to understand how water moves through them. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of how easily water flows through a soil. Currently, the most common method...

  • Bioswales for Stormwater Treatment: Characterization of Soil Contamination

    Creator:
    Honeycutt, Nora C.
    Abstract:
    The OSU-Benton County Green Stormwater Infrastructure Research (OGSIR) Facility was created to test various methods of stormwater treatment. At this facility, runoff from the Benton County Development Department property is captured and pumped into a bioswale. This bioswale is comprised of layers of rock, gravel, sand, and soil, and is...

  • History of Social Dancing at Oregon State University

    Creator:
    Weymann, Davis
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a brief history of social dance at Oregon State University (OSU) and discusses its key elements and context. Social dance has been part of campus life at OSU since the university was founded. Initially, dance was a social activity and means to interact with others, but as...

  • Coming of Age

    Creator:
    Eyerly, Kaylee R.
    Abstract:
    Coming of Age is a collection of ekphrastic poetry inspired by photographs taken throughout Oregon between 2012-2018. The collection traces the author's experience as she transitions from teenager to adult, struggles with change and loss, and studies to become a chemical engineer. Key Words: ekphrastic poetry, prose poetry, poetry, photography,...

  • Genotyping and Admixture Mapping of North American Fragaria chiloensis Populations

    Creator:
    Devin, Jennifer N.
    Abstract:
    Assembly and genotyping of polyploid genomes poses many problems due to the complex nature of polyploid data, including the inability to determine allelic dosage and mixed inheritance patterns. This study was the first application of POLiMAPS genotyping on whole genome sequences without using cross information. In this study, whole genome...

  • Biochar Infiltration Columns for Removal of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in Stormwater

    Creator:
    Lippman, Lauren
    Abstract:
    Water is one of the world’s most valued commodities, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are one of the emerging pollutants of concern. Stormwater runoff picks up pollutants such as bacteria as it runs over impervious surfaces and into waterbodies. This project tested the use of biochar columns as an effective and inexpensive...

  • Investigation of Magnesium Dioxybenzenedicarboxylate (Mg-DOBDC) Thin-film Deposition onto Modified Glass Substrates

    Creator:
    Haning, Evan J.
    Abstract:
    Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline compounds formed from reacting a metal ion with an organic ligand. They represent a promising new avenue in materials science for gas separations and storage. Certain MOFs, in particular Mg-MOF-74, have shown a strong affinity for the capture of CO2. This project investigated a known...

  • Solvation Effects of Water on Dimethyl Ether Interactions with a Platinum Catalyst

    Creator:
    Chang, Alvin
    Abstract:
    Our society today is heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as coal and oil. However, growing environmental concerns and future fossil fuel supplies have led to interests in alternative fuels. Dimethyl Ether (DME) is an inexpensive, clean-burning, non-toxic, and potentially renewable fuel, making it a suitable choice as an alternative...

  • Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Chemical Modulation of MOF-74(Ni)

    Creator:
    Aldossary, Abdulrahman N.
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous material distinguished for high free empty volume and pore tunability. MOF-74(Ni) was previously shown to be effective in adsorbing carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen. Microwave-assisted synthesis of MOF-74(Ni) was shown to lower reaction time from days to hours. In this thesis, experimental conditions of...

  • Comparison and Cultural Review of Biosphere Modeling Using Foliar Uptake of Technetium-99 in Radishes

    Creator:
    Pierson, Kayla L.
    Abstract:
    Biosphere models predict the transport of radionuclides in the environment with an end goal of assessing the possible risk to humans. Little data exists to support these mathematical biosphere models. The objectives of this work were to verify foliar uptake in biosphere models using experimental data, compare existing biosphere models...
